Built-up roof (BUR) membranes have been in use for more than a century. They are also known as “tar and gravel” roofing system. Typically, in Built-Up roofing systems, asphalt or bitumen is applied between layers of roofing felts. Roofing felts are reinforced with organic or glass-fiber...
Built-up roofing systems and methodsIn one embodiment, this invention relates to a bitumen-based built- up roofing system comprising a structural deck covered with a membrane comprising:(A) at least two layers of reinforcement, the bottom layer being attached to said structural deck, (B) a ...
Built-up roofing is also known as BUR roofing. It is sometimes referred to as hot-mop or hot-asphalt roofing, as well. Among commercial flat roof systems, it is certainly the most commonly used system today and has been around for over 150 years and has a long track record of ...
Roof Membrane: The waterproof membrane is the most important component of any low-slope roofing system. A built-up roof membrane consist of roofing bitumen (asphalt or coal tar pitch) and reinforcement felts, which strengthen the bitumen and allow the otherwise brittle (asphalt) or soft (coal t...
